Power plugs, sockets and travel adapter in Serbia

The local supply in Serbia is 230 V / 50 Hz. Most modern chargers for phones, laptops, cameras are dual voltage and work worldwide as long as the plug fits the socket.

OKAY Phone, tablet, camera chargers and power banks usually support 100–240 V and can be used safely with the correct plug or adapter.
CAUTION Laptops, game consoles and monitors often work worldwide, but always check the voltage range (100–240 V) on the power brick before plugging in.
AVOID Single-voltage devices with heating elements (hair dryers, straighteners, kettles) can be problematic if their rated voltage does not match the local supply of 230 V.

Serbia has emerged as a genuinely exciting travel destination, with a vibrant cultural and nightlife scene in Belgrade, beautiful river gorges and historic monasteries scattered across the countryside.

There, the main plug types C and F are used and the standard supply is 230 V at 50 Hz. You will need a travel adapter because the local plug types differ from those used in your home country. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.

Tip Serbia uses type C and F sockets, standard across most of the Balkans and central Europe. A single robust adapter plus a multi-USB charger covers the needs of most travelers staying in city apartments or guesthouses.
